Establish and strengthen nutrition financial tracking mechanism.

By 2027, Ministry of Finance in collaboration with the NPC commits to establishing a nutrition financing mechanism and operationalize it to track and monitor the year-wise allocation and expenditure of the nutrition budget across six sectoral ministries, at 7 provinces, and all 753 local levels for the MSNP-III to monitor their efficiency of budgetary resource utilization. This includes strengthening existing government’s Budget Management Information System and Financial Management Information System and advocating for establishing nutrition budget code. Progress will be monitored under the leadership of NPC in coordination with MoF and MoFAGA through annual financial tracking assessment of nutrition budget allocation and expenditure across six sectoral ministries, seven provinces, and 753 local levels using strengthened Budget Management Information System and Financial Management Information System. A mid-term review in 2027 and a final evaluation in 2030 will be conducted assess the effectiveness of the nutrition financing mechanism and nutrition budget code in improving resource allocation and expenditure efficiency.
